Chapter 911: Jiang Ruyu!
Heaven-Shaker · 第911章 姜如玉!
After the Foreign Alliance ended, Yang Tian had made a huge profit. It could be said that all the treasures he had found in his lifetime could not compare to this single day, and he had even found many celestial buildings.
The Flower Fairy had already joined the Heavenly Court. After settling that matter, he went to the East Sea, where he not only found four East Sea Divine Pearls but also took on a disciple.
"Master, Master, where are we going?" A little dragon girl of four or five years old called out. Her features were very delicate, and she had two dragon horns on her forehead.
When he first saw her, Yang Tian was startled. The child's body flowed with extremely vigorous true dragon blood, and she had the potential to transform into a dragon in the future. He was immediately moved and took her as his disciple.
The Flower Fairy and the others had returned. Yang Tian brought the little dragon girl to the ancient Kunlun Immortal Mountain. Through the portal on the map, they searched for several days before finding the entrance.
"Little Horn, this is the ancient Kunlun Immortal Mountain. Let's go in and take a look." Holding Little Horn's small hand, Yang Tian stepped into the portal.
This was a fairyland. Immortal mist filled the air, rising in multicolored auspicious clouds. The sound of the Dao resonated between heaven and earth, as if one had entered a realm of immortals.
"Master, Master, it's so beautiful in here, even more beautiful than the Dragon Palace!" Little Horn's golden eyes looked around, very delighted.
Yang Tian's face was full of astonishment. The great Dao's celestial sounds came from everywhere. If one cultivated here, it would be a hundred times better than the outside world.
After scanning the surroundings, Yang Tian's pupils suddenly contracted. There was a large tree, and it actually turned and ran.
"Wow, Master, that big tree can run! Has it become a spirit?" Little Horn said excitedly.
Yang Tian's body shot forward instantly. His horrified gaze fixed on the tree, for he saw an immortal aura on it.
"Spare me, great immortal, spare me..." The tree, with a bitter old face, hastily begged for mercy.
"What kind of creature are you?" Yang Tian frowned. This tree was very strange, having survived here all this time.
"Spare me, great immortal. I'm just a tree that has become a spirit, nothing more." The old tree was scared half to death.
"You call me 'great immortal' and still dare to lie?" Yang Tian pursed his lips and said.
"Fellow Daoist, wait." Just as Yang Tian was interrogating, a heavenly voice sounded in his ear. His expression changed, and when he looked over, his face was very unusual.
She had an ethereal temperament, with an air of otherworldliness. Dressed in white like an immortal, she was ethereal, bright, and intelligent. It was actually the exiled immortal from the outer realm he had known before, the Immortal of the Mortal Dao, Zhang Ying!
"How are you here?" Yang Tian's jaw nearly dropped. To meet an old acquaintance here was too incredible.
"Big sister is so beautiful, give me a hug." Little Horn circled around Zhang Ying, giggling.
"Long time no see. What a coincidence. This is my third disciple." Yang Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly, his heart full of surprises.
"So this is Fellow Daoist's third disciple." Zhang Ying nodded slightly. A golden lotus appeared in her hand, radiating chaotic energy—this was a Chaos Golden Lotus.
"Big sister, is this for me?" Little Horn said with a joyful face.
"No manners. Call her Senior Zhang." Yang Tian's face immediately tightened as he scolded.
"Thank you, Senior Zhang." Little Horn giggled, took the Chaos Golden Lotus in her hand, and was full of surprise.
"Fellow Daoist must have many questions?" At this moment, Zhang Ying brushed the hair from her forehead and smiled. "Come with me."
The two disappeared directly from there, passed through a stretch of immortal mountains, and appeared in a palace complex. Inside, thousands of strands of immortal light and auspicious colors steamed, exuding an indescribable majesty.
"The Southern Heavenly Gate!" Yang Tian's gaze swept over a portal, and his pupils slightly contracted. This was actually a divine object.
"This is the ruins of the Heavenly Court. I never imagined that the person I befriended in the past would now be the Lord of the Heavenly Court." Zhang Ying seemed to know a lot and led him into a hall.
"It's you!" When he saw a figure radiating the aura of the Great Dao, Yang Tian's expression became even more abnormal. This was the mysterious person that Yanlong was wary of!
"Master." After arriving here, Zhang Ying performed the great disciple's bow, leaving Yang Tian stunned.
"This junior pays respects to Senior." Yang Tian did not dare to act presumptuously. This person was extremely terrifying.
"You are not bad. Although there are many variables compared to my husband's calculations, you are far better than he imagined." A voice filled with the rhythm of the Great Dao came, indistinguishable as male or female.
"Senior, who are you?" Yang Tian scratched his head, very puzzled.
"Xiao Hei, why don't you come out when you see me?" The person laughed.
Yanlong was scared half to death. He shot out and stared at the person, who could not be clearly seen, as if seeing a ghost. He couldn't help but say, "Are you... Madam?"
"Madam?" Now it was Yang Tian's turn to be puzzled. Even Zhang Ying's expression was abnormal. Her master actually had a husband? How was that possible? Who in the world could match her?
"Xiao Hei, I didn't die back then. My husband changed my fate, allowing me to escape the control of the Heavenly Dao, so you couldn't see me."
"It really is Madam! Wonderful, wonderful!" Yanlong's old face was streaked with tears. He scolded Yang Tian, "Why don't you pay respects to your Grandmother?"
"Yang Tian pays respects to Grandmother." Yang Tian's face was full of joy. He hadn't expected this person to be the wife of the Supreme Being.
"No need for such formalities. Rise quickly." Jiang Ruyu helped Yang Tian up and sighed, "I'm somewhat surprised that you were able to come here."
"Madam, what exactly is going on?" Yanlong was very puzzled. In the early ancient times, it was rumored that Jiang Ruyu had been shaken to death by the Demon Lord. But he never expected that not only was she not dead, but she had transcended.
To leap out of heaven and earth was not something anyone could do. It meant being as eternal as heaven and earth, never perishing! Since the Supreme Being was helping her, why did the Supreme Being die?
"Back then, after my husband suppressed the Demon Lord, he angered the Heavenly Dao. My husband cut off half of the Heavenly Dao and used its origin to help me leap out of heaven and earth. But my husband was also severely wounded, so he had to go into slumber. By my reckoning, it's almost time for him to awaken."
"What? The Great One isn't dead? He's been recuperating all along?" Yanlong was extremely excited and even more astounded. To nearly cut down the Heavenly Dao—this was absolutely a monumental event that would shake the ages.
Zhang Ying listened as if hearing a celestial book. Who was the Heavenly Dao? It governed heaven and earth; all beneath the Heavenly Dao were ants. Yet someone had nearly killed the Heavenly Dao.
"Heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs. One cycle is about to end. The Heavenly Dao will soon awaken. Our time is short. You should go to the Gate of Creation and go into seclusion now."
Jiang Ruyu waved her hand, and the old tree came over. Jiang Ruyu said, "Undying, you go too."
"As you command, Immortal." The Undying Divine Tree said.
Yang Tian's mind was full of confusion. There were many things he didn't know, but he also didn't know how to ask.
"Child, establish the Heavenly Court in a thousand years. After attaining the Dao here, I will go with you to the Tianyang Continent. The time of the great calamity is approaching. Success depends on this one gamble."
"Master, what about me?" Zhang Ying asked.
"You go too. You were originally a Chaos Green Lotus born at the beginning of heaven and earth, but you escaped with only a remnant soul. You will be a great help then."
As Jiang Ruyu's voice faded, these people disappeared from there.
